I believe we are too stubborn to switch to LS and will play CP until he throws 2 picks.

He is the better QB of the two. Logan can atleast use his speed in certain situations. Don't think it will really matter this week but praying for the upset. GBR

We need a change up. Running options, screens and misdirection. That's Logan.

I would fire Whipple if the starting QB today doesn't go to Logan. Oh heck, I'd fire Whipple anyway.

He has stuck it out for three seasons and has true game experience, plus he is a better runner with knowledge of running a true option play.....more accurate thrower as well...

I thought his performance last year vs Iowa was very impressive. Purdy seems overwhelmed at times and makes bad decisions.

Logan is definitely our best option, but it’s gonna be embarrassing no matter who plays, but Logan is better

Not an outstanding player, but steady and reliable. Deserve the start on Saturday.

Huskers have to have a legit run threat at QB

Chubba is an interception machine. Smothers has generally played well when given the opportunity--like last year against Iowa.

Qb. Oline. Offense could be very good. Back 7 on d should be good Concerns at rb depth and unknowns on interiour d line.

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.
